German Riding Pony Stallion Sweet Rock Solid aka Stibby

Welcome to Longview Farm

The German Riding Pony is a unique pony breed that developed in Germany forty years ago due to the need for a large pony with the athleticism and temperament for children to compete with at a national and international level. Specifically, the German Riding Pony (GRP) was bred to be a competitive pony in the disciplines of dressage, show jumping, and eventing. English pony breeds, particularly type B Welsh, were crossed with smaller Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds and Arabians with the goal of obtaining a smaller version of the German Warmblood. Within ten years, the German Riding Pony type was showing good results in competition and breeding. As with full size warmblood breeding, registries developed in each region of the country and animals were inspected as foals and breeding stock at keurings or inspections. The breed standard for these ponies include a small head, large eyes, small ears, clean throatlatch, a long neck set well on the body with a pronounced wither and a long croup. They are bred for horse-like movement that is correct, rhythmic, and elastic with a large stride, expressive gaits and clear impulsion from the hindquarters. The goal is a pony between 13.2 and 14.2 hands (138cm-148cm as measured in Germany) but of course many ponies go over size and there is a robust market for these small horses in Germany as well.
